mme Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi My hosts control panel doesnt have an option to extract files. Is there a php script that can extract .tar.bz2 files as I am wanting to upload more than 7000 files and 800 folders and using ftp this would take a long time. So I could just upload the .tar.bz2 file then use a script to extract the files onto the server. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
